I currently use this version on Guix (so Linux):

The errors occurs when I try to "really" commit using magit or git
through the command line.

hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file...
Waiting for Emacs...
error: Couldn't load public key sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com AAAAG[..]zaDo=: No such file or directory?

fatal: failed to write commit object


Now if I try this command:
>   $ git verify-commit --raw HEAD

I get the following:
error: gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile needs to be configured and exist for ssh signature verification


It's possible that my config is not complete, I remember not having
necessarily done the part with allowedsigners (which is not necessary
for an ed25519 "simple" key apparently). I'll take a look, and come back
to you.
